Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the beer marinade according to the recipe reference, then place the trimmed beef chuck in a container just large enough to hold it.
  2. Pour the beer marinade over the beef, ensuring it is well-coated, then cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to tenderize.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177ðC).
  4. Remove the beef from the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels, and reserve the marinade liquid for later use.
  5. In a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the pork lard or vegetable oil until shimmering.
  6. Brown the beef chuck on all sides until a deep golden crust forms, then remove the meat and set aside.
  7. In the same pot, add the sliced onions and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  8. Add the mashed garlic cloves and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  9. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, sea salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.
  10. Pour in the dark beer, water, and the reserved marinade, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  11. Return the beef to the pot, cover tightly with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.
  12. Bake for 45 minutes.
  13. Remove the pot from the oven, add the chunked carrots and potatoes, and submerge them in the liquid.
  14. Cover again and return to the oven, baking for an additional 45 minutes or until the meat is very tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  15. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Enjoy!
